A different starting point for BIM

Rebuild BIM the way it was always supposed to be.

Real-time, collaborative BIM for every discipline.

We started because we had to.

A few weeks ago, Autodesk sent us a license audit.

Within 24 hours, we had our own BIM tool running.

1.5 million views later, we want to open source it.

But a small MEP firm can't build architecture, structural, fire, and civil the way you need them built. If we get real commitments from people in each of those disciplines, we'll do it.

Why we're building this.

We're not building another BIM tool. We're making the whole design process real-time and collaborative, across every discipline. SaaS was never going to give us that. So we're building it.

  • 01

    Real-time work

    The model, drawings, and schedules stay connected as people work.

  • 02

    Every discipline

    Architecture, structural, fire protection, civil, and MEP share one model.

  • 03

    Native agent access

    Native MCP tools and plugins for major AI platforms.

  • 04

    Open foundations

    Built on That Open Company's open libraries.

Build the part you know best.

You don't need a stamp. Contractors, trades, developers, investors, licensed professionals. If you're cracked and you know how buildings actually get funded, designed, built, and operated, you're a good fit.

Architecture

Coordination, documentation, and the tools architects use every day.

Structural

Structures, analysis handoffs, and construction documents.

Fire protection

Fire suppression, life safety, and coordination.

Civil

Sites, utilities, grading, and civil documents.

Built by a small MEP firm.

PermitZIP plans to be prompting 100% of our drawings into existence by Q2 2027. We're a small business, but we've been building our own software since 2021. Founding contributors get a look under the hood at how we wired it all up.

Become a founding contributor.

If enough people raise their hand, we'll open a private registration for founding contributors.

We care more about the tokens you put into it than the hours.
